COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. There are
three paratypes
collected at
Alexandria
in
May 1905
by Stalker: AMNH 577649 (Mathews no. 2128), female; and AMNH 577650 and 577651, unsexed on the label but entered by Mathews (nos. 2126 and 2129) as males.
Ingram (1907: 406–407)
discussed these
four specimens
. Stalker’s given name was Wilfred (
Ogilvie-Grant, 1915
: vi), contra
Ingram (1907)
and
Whittell (1954: 680–681)
.
